(Signpost photos: Larry Jensen) WSC to become leader in small satellite industry Nadauld tells council Weber will become nation's leader Chris J. Miller Editor-in-Chief President Stepehen D. Nadauld yesterday told the WSC Insitituuonal Council that Weber has entered into an agrcccmcnt with a world-wide satellite organizatin to produce high-tech satellites for the next 10 years. After a scries of negotiations, WSC and AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corp.) will become joint partners in a trio of exciting projects, which, said Nadauld, "Will make Weber State the leader in the United States, maybe in the world, in small satellite technology." The proposed projects include a plan to develop a ground control station at Weber State that would serve the entire United States. Other projects mentioned include a phase four satellite, and the development of a lunar polar orbitwer satellite. . In other Insitutional Council action, the Council approved the proposed tuition and student fee increases for the 1988-89 year. Full-time students (12-18 credits) will pay $306 in tuition, and S88 in student fees, mirrortr an 8 percent increase overall. Out-of-state students will see a similar increase (see SATELLITE on page 5A) Vice-presitiem'iai candidates address students Reva Smith Managing Editor Four ASWSC academic vice-presidential candidates had the opportunity to state their positions and answer questions during a political science class yesterday in the Social Science Building. Jim Summers, currently J2L J 88 involved in publicity strategy for the open hour programs, said "My major goal is to unify the senate into an effective working body, and I think my skills in the past with debate, etc., give me that ability." Summers spoke of his association with the administration. "The experience that I have had has been very positive. How I have approached them (administration) in the past has been on a very good note . . ., and I think that will snowball into the future and have a spillover effect." In addition, Summers said "The academic vice president has to have interaction with the students." He said he would work with the senators to get feedback about the student's wants and needs. Also, Summers said he would mandate the Area Council meet bi-weekly, instead of once a month, which is the current policy. Darren Berry, a junior majoring in finance, said "I think the vice president should, and this I'll emphasize, should follow the mission statement of this school. That's our prime directive here. We pay our tuition and our fees to be educated. What I'll do is everything in my power to make sure you get the best possible education you can." In addition, Berry said it is important to let the students know who their senators are. "I realize that that's a problem here. I'll see they come around and you get to know what they can do for you." Speaking on the importance of the open hour program, Berry said, "I don't plan on increasing money on the open hour program, just improving it, so we can generate belter participation and provide speakers who interest the student body as a whole." Jim Puffer, currently the social science senator, said "First of all, the full common denominator of anything I could say is I just hope you'll vole. Only 10 percent of the student body has voted in past years, and I think . . . we need to send a strong voice to our administration that we as a student body really do care about some of the things that take place here at school." Puffer said he was instrumental in providing good open hour activities, implementing the new touch-tone registration system, and responsible for new food service regulations. Puffer also sees himself lobbying the Utah legislature. "I am willing, with the students' support, to go and lobby these individuals and send a strong message to these individuals down in the legislature that we need some bucks here at Weber State College. We cannot talk about having a better education without dollars." Rich Hoggan, the current arts & humaniues senator, began "What am I going to do for you in the future? I think that's what matters. . . . The office must represent students' needs to the administration. It's important that he or she listens to the students. So I promise as academic vice president that I'm not going to climb into my ivory tower and ignore the students." "You shouldn't have to come to ASWSC. We should come to you, and we should take the time to tell you what's happening, and listen to what you want from us. That's what you're paying for. Thai's part of what you're paying that S88 per quarter for." Hoggan said the open hour program should be totally revised. The deans and faculty members should be educated about the programs, then encouraged to announce the events in their respective classes. He would also require the various senators to work with the department chairs for input on who the departments and students want to hear. Finally, Hoggan would work with faculty members and department chairs to devise a system of unified books for lower division classes. He believes this would reduce prices at the bookstore. Japanese student dies The International student population suffered a loss last week with the death of a Japanese student in a motorcycle accident. Takashi Uemori, 21, of Fukuoka, Japan, was involved in an auto-motorcycle accident, Tuesday, March 29, on Washington Boulevard in Ogden. Uemori died Wednesday. According to Diann Stewart, of the International Center, Family members of Uemori came from Japan, but decided to hold the funeral at the Ogden Buddhist Temple. His body was cremated and taken back to Japan. "He was well-liked and popular among all the students. He will definitely be missed," said Stewart.
